Till 1936-37, the poojas at the temple were offered by the heirs of Ponnallur Manakal Namboodiries. Later when there were no male heirs to this family, the pooja was taken over by Kunnath West Bhattathiris. From 1990 August 9 - August 14 Ashtabhakalasham was carried out under the Thantri Vishnu Bhattathiri as the chief priest, and under the guidance of Akavoor Manakal and with the help of Uranmakkar and the public.

By 20 February 1997, the cleansing ceremony, remedial measures and renewal work had begun under the Thantri Kaaimooka Raman Adathiripaadu. This was in view of the Ashtamagala Prashnam.

The temple festival which had long been delayed and neglected was brought back to life along with remedial poojas during February 28 - March 07 in the year 1998. This indeed was a new beginning. Deva Prashnam (a form of astrology by which the pleasure and displeasure of Gods are known) revealed that the devotees were once given Kanjivizhinju (Neivedyam) during Arattu days, and this would wash off all kinds of ill health. Nowadays the temple witness long queues for this Prasadam.

During Ashtamirohini (Lord Krishna's birthday) 8 days of festival are carried out, including Bhagava Sapthaham which is reciting the life story of Krishna.

Various other festivals like Pradishta Divasam (day of deity installation) during the month of Midhuna (Punartham star), Mandala festival (Lord Ayyappa festival from the Malayalam month of Vrischikam 1 - Dhanu 11), Vishu kani (festival related to Lord Vishnu during the Malayalam month of Medam 1), Naaga Pradishta (related to Naaga (serpent) installation during the Malayalam month of Ayilyam) and pooja related to Navarathri (this is auspicious day, when the books are kept for pooja) are done.
